스토리 카운티 최고의 라이딩 경로

One of my favorite state parks even if they don’t care about cyclists as much as boaters. Ride the road not the neglected bike trail.

This gazebo is a nice spot for a mid-ride break. The Oasis sits along the High Trestle trail and has a picnic table, water fountains, and restrooms.

Ankeny sits near the beginning (or end depending on direction) of the High Trestle Trail. It's a great stop for lunch or bike supplies.

This paved path connects Northwest 18th Street with the High Trestle Trail, and along the way, you'll cross a quiet residential area with two small lakes where, by the way, swimming is not allowed.

Pause your ride at Saylorville Dam for scenic views. This dam on the Des Moines River in Iowa is only 11 miles upstream from Des Moines, offering a great place to hop off your bike and take a break!

The 26-mile Neal Smith Trail rolls along the banks of the Des Moines River through the Ding Darling Greenway conservation area and weaves its way through a variety of landscapes, including riverbanks, wildflower meadows, lakeshores and dense forests. It is fully paved and traffic free, so it is a great way to move about the city along with the other connector trails.
